CONTAINER.

Application filed January 18, 1909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, ORLAND A. BoRDnN, a citizen of the United States,anda resident of St.Louis,Missournhave invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Containers, of which the following is a specification.

rthis invention relates to improvements in containers and has for itsobject the formation of a device comprising two receptacles detachablyconnected together, each receptacle containing a separate material.

A further object of my invention is to construct a container composed oftwo detachable compartments, each connected by the same stopper.

ln the drawings-Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my completeinvention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail sectional view ot a portion ofthe eontainer'and stopper showing their relative connection. Fig. 8 isa. perspective view of the stopper made use of. Fig. il is a perspectiveview of the container when covered with the proper label.

ln carrying out my invention l provide a receptacle composed ot' twosections 5 and 6, the receptacle 5 constructed preferably Jfor powderand the receptacle 6 for liquid, paste or substances different from thatcontained in the receptacle 5. The top of the receptacle 5 is providedwith a head T havingl an opening S, the inner edge of said head beingbent downwardly forming the flange 9 and the opening 8. The receptacle 6is likewise constructed and has its opening 10 arranged to register withthe opening 8. Vithin said openings a closure 11, composed of twosections 12 and 13, each arranged to snugly lit in the openings in saidreceptacles, is adapted to be seated. The sections of said stopper areprovided with flanges lf-l and 15 contacting with each other, the flange15 being bent around the edge of the flange 14: forming a lock by whichboth sections are held together. Around each section and on the flangesis placed a flexible gasket 16 so located as to contact with the uppersurface of the heads so as to make an absolute leak- Speccaton ofLetters Fatent.

proof joint. The arrangement and position assumed by placing togetherthe several parts is clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. Thisarrangement of container is especially constructed for gold, silver,aluminum and such paints and varnishes as it is not profitable to haveready mixed on account of their explosive properties; the largerreceptacle containing the liquid and the smaller one the powder or thelike.

After the receptacles have been properly placed together they arecovered with a label (see Fig. Ll), and when the container is purchasedand it is desired to open the same, the purchaser by means of anyflattened instrument tears the label at the joining edges of thereceptacles; then the instrument is inserted between the upper edge ofthe receptacle 5 and under the edge ot the cover flange 15, and byprying upwardly, the cover together with the receptacle 6 is removed.The operation of removing the cover from the small receptacle is thesame. The ingredients of both receptacles are then mixed and preparedfor use.

Having fully described my invention, what l claim as new and desire tohave secured to me by the grant of Letters Patent, is:

The improved container comprising two receptacles provided with openingsregistering with each other when said receptacles are placed top to top;a closure adapted to serve as a common seal to both receptacles whenplaced top to top, and consisting of two flanged sections having theirflanges secured together; and two gaskets mounted on the opposite sidesof said closure, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, inpresence of two subscribing witnesses.
